As generals sometimes try to fight the previous war, this crew seemed worried about this previous accident. That, unfortunately, can only be done by lowering the nose, which the pilot flying cannot do without crashing. Major unions have lost court cases and in one instance suffered severe financial damage in the process. In this confusion, induced by the rushed approach, they did not catch that the copilot had brought up the throttle for the dead engine, and left the throttle for the good inboard engine at idle power (Factor #3, the second most crucial error caused by Factor #2.) (The C-5M uses newer GE CF6 engines.) [45], A total of 52 C-5s are contracted to be modernized, consisting of 49 B-, two C- and one A-model aircraft through the RERP.
